Description

Reviewing the analytical strategies used in the study of cultural heritage assets such as movable artworks and archaeological items, and immovable objects like mural paintings, archaeological sites and historical buildings, this book pays particular attention to analytical methodology.

It is not always necessary to use new and sophisticated instrumentation, what is important is how the instruments are used to obtain reliable, reproducible and repetitive results in view of the problems to be solved.

The book considers the influence of the environment on the conservation state including degradation and how modern analytical methods have improved the analysis of materials.

It emphasizes multi-method approaches on a range of materials, an approach that is of keen interest to those working in conservation practice.

Primarily aimed at final year undergraduate study and masters level students, it would also be useful as supplementary reading for postgraduates and academics who require analytical techniques to enhance their research.
